How much does one gallon of Trichloroethylene weigh?

Answer 1

The density of that particular carcinogen in its pure form at room temperature

is 1.6227 g/ml. We'll just call that 1.6227 times the density of water, because

we happen to know the weight of water in English units, whereas we're not

at all motivated to do all the conversions from grams and ml right now. We'll

use 62.4 pounds per ft3 for water and be done with it.

1 ft3 = 1,728 in3

1 gallon = 231 in3

C2Cl4 = 1.6227 x 62.4 pounds per ft3 x 231 / 1,728 = 13.536 pounds per gallon (rounded)

Answer 2

1 gallon = 3785 cm^3

tetrachloroethylene = 1.622 g/cm^3

Answer 3

14.

Answer 4

9 pounds
